Exam time

Back in May, DH and I took our ballroom & Latin dance exam – top class 1.
It was an amazing evening, our mark’s were high and we were  2nd in our year group.
I arranged a trophy for DH, to remind him of the exam but I needed a box for it:
I also made him a card . . . .

Re-cycling

  I quite liked the size of the mini Pringles (other crisps are available lol) tubs and I was finding it hard to throw them away.

I had some lovely Dutch themed paper that was perfect for this project.  I used mod podge to stick the paper to the tubs and as a top coat for protection.

So pleased with the result, and the elastic bands,  adhesive tape refills and paper clips now have a new (tidier) home)

New Baby

 

The crib was cut using the Sizzix scoreboards XL cradle die (#658986).  I crocheted a blanket & pillow and added the name in letter beads.  I then had a go at making an acetate box, something I have only just started to make.  The new parents were thrilled with my creation  (that was a relief!).

New Home

An unusual new home card.
I embossed the door on a white postcard, using the Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing folder Door & Wreath Set (#658430).  I trimmed this to size and added a large black brad for a door handle.  I then glued this to a pearly cream card blank.
Being extremely careful, I cut along the edge and top of the door and scored along the other edge of the door, so that the door opened.  I then glued the card blank together, excluding the door.  The “new home” was cut from gauze paper using  a Joy Crafts die – alphabet & numbers (#6002/0139)
